Josh Smith to the Kings is a real possibility

Don’t start celebrating the 4th early, but there is a slight chance Detroit may be able to get rid of Josh Smith, his huge contract and his to affinity to shoot from the North Pole. Put your Trade Machine scenarios aside, ESPN’s Marc Stein is reporting such a possiblity.

One source insists nothing imminent, but I'm told Pistons and Kings have discussed a trade that would send Josh Smith to Sacramento

Getting rid of Smith solves nothing. Monroe still isn’t a power forward, the team STUNK before Smith got here, and the team STUNK when Smith sat out the last five games of the season (1-4 record, more than 110 ppg allowed). Monroe + Drummond is not something to build around, and you don’t have the assets to support them with enough to make them a winner, with or without Smith.

I think I’d trust SVG over you. Monroe and Drummond haven’t had the shooters around them to allow that pairing to work yet, which is why that’s exactly what SVG is targeting in free agency. Guys who can shoot.
